The larger size is the F.A.R.T
I remember when they first came out. It was a tapered metal tube with holes in it that plugged directly between the mouthpiece and leadpipe and the bottom was solid. Some years ago they switched to the version that clips onto the leadpipe. I preferred just using the mouthpiece to buzz, but it works for some people.

My opinion, like yours, was that it was superior simply because it did mimic backpressure as opposed to open buzzing and could be used as an independent tool.
Like a moron, I sold that off a long time ago.

To rephrase Chris Olka's reasoning and embellish with my own experience: even the act of being able to buzz on the mouthpiece and hold the horn properly (as opposed to using one hand to hold the mouthpiece while buzzing) forces the player to link buzzing and playing mentally. I didn't even realize that my buzz was different on the mouthpiece and horn until I used it, because so many other factors (hand angle, posture, etc) got in the way. Once I used the clip (and I leave mine on no resistance all the time) I immediately noticed a huge problem in my tone generation, because I was doing exactly as I would with the real horn in every other facet of my playing.smileatom wrote:Dont use those things!
